this happened last month but I'm still on a high about it tbh lol, basically someone commented a pretty crappy thing on a post on HBO's insta page about Noah and I commented under it essentially telling them they need to touch grass and they commented back "How much does Noah Wyle pay you to defend him ?" and like @'ed him, I responded back "A ton, I even have dental insurance and I get paid overtime as well which is why I'm on the clock currently dealing with your unemployed self on a thursday morning" and I thought that was that. I didn't go on instagram for the rest of the day till nighttime and low and behold who liked my response ? Auden, Sara and Noah (and a ton of others people lol), who DM'ed me a message saying "Not gonna lie that made me laugh a lot ! I'll make sure to keep you on payroll πβ€" ? Noah ππ
I liked it and responded "anytime !" and he liked it back and yeah we're basically besties now lool
LMFAOOOOO!!! π omfg not the whole wyle clan just backing you up like 'yeah get that fucker' oh my lord he truly sees so much crap but at least it entertains him. that's, as ever, very reassuring.
anyways this is the cutest exchange!!!! no wonder you're riding that high. i had an idiot this morning responding to my comment calling him a good man like "well according to rumours he isn't" i just ripped into him and tore him apart like why am i going to listen to rumours you stupid wanker? don't piss off a grieving noah wyle fan lololol.
thank you for sending this to me, you've made my day <3

Jack is catching a quick nap in the break room before his shift actually starts, hunched over the table in a way his back will definitely be complaining about later.
Robby on the other hand, is on the verge of exploding if he doesn't get a minute to himself. If he had a nickel for every MAHA moron that walked through those doors deciding that they were the doctor, that they "knew better" than his students and his residents, he'd be rich enough to remodel the whole of PTMC. He warns Dana. Dana tells him to take a break. And, fortunately, he seems to take the hint.
He finds Jack in the break room snoring quietly. The volume that isn't an interruption or disturbance, just background noise. Like leaving a fan running. It's there, it's noticeable, but it's not grating. He'd be lying if he said he didn't shoot the man a funny look though. There's no way that's comfortable.
The presence of Jack helped Robby settle. Like a therapy dog. They just lie there, doing nothing, but you feel a little calmer anyway. Co-regulating.
Robby filled a cup with some watery coffee and sat down in the seat closest to Jack, quiet as to not disturb him. Even so, he saw the man shift slightly. Hairpin trigger, safety always off.
As much as he didn't want to disturb him, he couldn't let Jack stay in that position. Chances are he'd wake up feeling like a used tissue, push through it, and end up worse off than before. He had a duty not to let him stay in such a state. Robby nudged his arm lightly, then a little more forcibly, an action that only earned him a grunt in response. It's like Jack knew it was Robby trying to wake him and was purposefully staying asleep.
"C'mon, man. You're gonna hate yourself for this when you wake up."
"No I won't." Jack mumbled back in that not-quite-awake manner.
"You will. Come on, sit up." Jack righted himself with a few crackles and pops of joints, a vague grimace on his sleep softened features. Robby had to swallow a laugh as he saw the red mark on his forehead where it had been resting against his arm and the glimmer of drool at the corner of his pursed lips.
"You got anywhere else to be?" Jack asked, groggy and ever so slightly disoriented. Robby paused, head turning to the door as though he expected to be called away immediately.
"Not that I know of."
"Good." And with that, Jack rested himself against Robby's side, using the man as a replacement. His breathing slowed back down, eyes fluttering shut. Robby stiffened ever so slightly. "Let Al-Hashimi pick up the slack for the final fifteen."
"Don't drool on me." Robby huffed as he rested his head against Jack's, relishing the calm intimacy of the moment.
Last updated: June 10th, 2026. This timeline of The Pitt will be updated with new information as people will hopefully correct me and add to this! Notes explaining general calculations (confirming season 1 is set in 2025, the birth year of characters, the general timeline I used for medical school to emergency medicine residency) are beneath the cut.
Date - Event
1948 - Montgomery Adamson is born (S1E01, plaque on memorial wall).
1982/1983* - Cassie McKay is born (S1E01, β42-year-old R2β).
1985/1986 - Baran Al-Hashimi is born (S2E14, β40-year-oldβ).
1992/1993 - Dana Evans begins working at the Emergency Department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (PTMC) (S1E08, β32 yearsβ).
September 1995 to July 1996 - Samira Mohan is born (on Twitter, Supriya Ganesh says the writers and her decided Mohan is 29 in season 1 [link]; in a panel interview Ganesh says β[Mohan is] 30 in season 2β [link]).
October/November 1998 - Trinity Santos is born (S1E06, she tells Yolanda Garcia her star sign is Scorpio; the first draft of the script for the first episode [link] says she is 26. Assuming that her starting age is 26 and that season 1 is set in September, her birthday hasn't passed yet, and she would be born in 1998).
July 7th, 2005 - Victoria Javadi is born (S1E01, βIβm 20β; S2E01, βYour birthday is next Tuesday?β, the Tuesday after July 4th).
By August 2005 - Michael Robinavitch completed his residency program at Big Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana (S1E09). While the timeline between then and his arrival at PTMC is unclear, the hospital closed following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Therefore, Robinavitch would have left the hospital in 2005 at the latest.
2007/2008 - Jake Malloy, Robinavitchβs stepson, is born (S1E05, βIβm 17β).
2008/2009 - Mohanβs dad dies when she is 13 (S1E05).
September 2013 to July 2014 - Harrison Ashcroft, McKayβs son, is born (S1E02, βheβs 11 nowβ; S2E05, βmy sonβs 12β).
March/April 2016 - McKay gets sober (S1E05, β9 years, 5 months, and 11 daysβ).
2018 - Javadi attends college and later medical school at the University of Pittsburgh (S1E10, βgo to college at 13β).
Before September 2020 - In a flashback set in 2020 when Adamsonβs health was declining because of COVID-19, Mohan is pictured in a photo at his bedside (S1E07, Robinavitch and Perlah Alawi are also pictured). This may be an error in using a picture of the cast, but if accurate, this implies Mohan attended medical school in Pittsburgh. At the latest that this photo could have been taken (at PTMC in early 2020), Mohan would have been in her first year of medical school.
September 2020 - Adamson dies during the COVID-19 pandemic after 17 days on ECMO (S1E07).
September 2020 to July 2021 - Tanner Langdon, Frank Langdonβs son, is born (S1E02, βfour-year-oldβ; S2E04, βTannerβs five nowβ).
July 2021 - John Shen begins his first year of the emergency medicine residency program at PTMC** (S1E12, βstill a resident three months agoβ).
July 2022 - Heather Collins, Langdon, and Parker Ellis begin their first year of residency.
2022/2023 - Penny Langdon, Langdonβs daughter, is born (S2E04, βPennyβs threeβ).
July 2023 - Mohan and Crus Henderson begin their first year of residency.
July 2024 - McKay and Melissa King begin their first year of residency.
July 2025 - Shen becomes an attending physician in emergency medicine. Collins, Langdon, and Ellis begin their fourth year of residency. Mohan and Henderson begin their third year of residency. McKay and King begin their second year of residency. Santos begins her first year of residency.
August 2025 - Dennis Whitaker does an internal medicine rotation in PTMC (S1E15). He is in his fourth year of medical school. Javadi is in her third year of medical school at the University of Pittsburgh*** (S1E01).
September 2025 - This is when season 1 takes place (S1E06, Shelby Adamsonβs thank you note says βfive short years agoβ was Adamsonβs death, which occurred in 2020). After two months at a Veterans Affairs hospital, King begins her residency at PTMC and is in her second year (S1E01). Santos begins her intern year at PTMC (S1E01).
December 31st, 2025 - Langdon gets sober (S2E15, βIβve been sober 186 daysβ).
July 2026 - Season 2 is set on Saturday, July 4th, 2026, ten months after season 1. Al-Hashimi arrives at PTMC to cover for Robinavitch for his impending 3-month sabbatical (S2E01). Collins take an attending physician position closer to Portland, Oregon (S2E04). Ellis begins her Emergency Department Medical Education fellowship. Langdon begins his fourth year of residency again. Mohan and Henderson begin their fourth year of residency. McKay and King begin their third year of residency. Santos begins her second year of residency. Whitaker and Nazely Toomarian become doctors and begin their first/intern year of residency. Javadi and James Ogilvie are in their fourth year of medical school. Joy Kwon is in her third year of medical school.
November 2026 - Season 3 is set in November 2026, four months after the events of season 2.
Season 1 takes place over the course of fifteen hours of the same day. It occurs on an odd day (S1E02), a Friday (S1E15), and in September (S1E12, break room calendar; season 2 is set 10 months ahead in July). I think this places the date of season 1 as September 5th or September 19th. For the purposes of this timeline, season one is treated as occurring in September 2025.
It is made explicitly clear that season 2 is set on July 4th, 2026, so season 1 is definitively set in 2025. But before season 2 aired, season 1 had evidence for its 2025 setting:
On YouTube, there is a trailer titled βThe Pitt | Official Trailer | Maxβ (link) with a deleted scene where Collins says to Robby that Adamsonβs death was βfive years ago todayβ. We know the death occurred in 2020, so that makes it 2025.
In episode 6, when Shelby Adamson, Adamsonβs sister, sends a thank you note to the ER staff, her letter also says it has been five years. A transcription of the note: βTo the ER Staff of PTMC, As my brother would have done, I think of you all today. Sending this as a token of thanks for all that you do and all that you did for Monty, five short years ago. With love, Shelby Adamsonβ
Then, we have that patient in episode 10 who gets hit in the eye playing baseball. He says he is 16 and he was born on December 7th, 2008. This would only make it 2024 if it were December, but it is not.
Finally, Noah Wyle said at the FYC panel after season 1 that season 2 is intended to be set on the Fourth of July weekend, on the 250th anniversary of the US, which makes it July 2026.
*When given the age of a character, I give two possible years the character was born to accommodate for the fact that their birthday may not have passed yet. So, for example, Cassie McKay says she is 42. If we treat season one as being set in September 2025, she is at the latest born in September 1983 if her birthday just passed and she just turned 42. However, it may be the case that her birthday has not passed in the calendar year yet (like Santos, who is a Scorpio and therefore has a birthday sometime in late October to mid-November). This means she can at the earliest be born in September 1982 (say, late September), and turn 43 shortly after the events of season one. I use similar logic for events that happen at a certain age (e.g., Mohanβs dadβs death when she was 13 - she could have just turned 13 or turned 14 later that year).
**Here is the general information that I used to make the timeline for medical training. (Information concerning the American medical school system is compiled from cursory Google searches and browsing sources such as the National Resident Matching Program [NRMP] and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education [ACGME]. Please be advised that there may be errors and variations may exist. I am not in the medical field, so do correct me!) Following the completion of medical school, new doctors generally begin their residency programs on July 1. The emergency medicine residency program at Pittsburgh Medical Trauma Center is a four-year program (S1E04): R1 (interns), R2, R3, and R4. I am assuming all of the attendings and residents who we know did/are doing their residencies at PTMC immediately matched after four years of medical school and began their residencies in the emergency department in the July following graduation unless otherwise stated.
***In real life, I only found one medical school in Pittsburgh (the other school in the area confers D.O.), the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (Javadi says she attends Pitt in S1E10). Whitaker may also attend Pitt, or there may be an unnamed fictional medical school in Pittsburgh he attended. Another possibility is that he was completing away rotations and attended a medical school outside of Pittsburgh, like Ogilvie who attends UCLAβs medical school.
We really donβt talk about Robby reading Jackβs letter to the veteranβs sister enough. Voice breaking as he reads the raw emotion in Jackβs words, bathing in his compassion and experiencing his grief secondhand. He understands Jack deeply as both an attending physician and a person, itβs written all over his face, and he is truly honored to be the one to deliver his message of comfort and solidarity to the grieving family. GOD. What a deliciously poignant tile in the subtly rich mosaic of the Jack/Robby onscreen intimacy.

βI found out later from Noah, we were in Pittsburgh and we were all drunk one night and he was complimenting all of us. He was telling everyone what it was about their tape or their audition [for The Pitt] and he was like β[Isa] you were just so in your body. You were just really dropped in. You had really great control over your physical self and you owned the space.ββ
